How can you coordinate different trades to maintain site quality and control costs?

One thing I've found out working in construction industry is that an smart working procedure makes a things lot easier. Smart in terms of technology with understanding of SOP's would help save time and increase efficiency and give optimum output.

The first step to ensure quality and cost control is to plan your project carefully and realistically. This means defining the scope, budget, schedule, specifications, and quality standards of the project, as well as identifying the risks, opportunities, and contingencies.

Durante os anos de experiência na Engenharia Civil, notei uma lacuna na comunica??o ativa entre os gestores e os colaboradores das obras. Isso compromete a eficácia e eficiência de um planejamento bem elaborado, aumentando os riscos de falhas no cumprimento do cronograma. Além disso, é evidente a ausência da aplica??o de metodologias e processos executivos consolidados, o que poderia ajudar a reduzir erros durante a execu??o. é importante ressaltar que por meio de treinamentos regulares para a equipe, uma comunica??o clara sobre os processos de constru??o e o uso de tecnologias e ferramentas de análise de dados, é viável otimizar tarefas e supervisionar o desempenho global do projeto.

Mettre en avant les taches de chaque partie avec une date ultime de préparation pour anticiper les conflits. Planifier c'est assurer

In my experience planning ahead means proactively identifying any constraints or conflicts with other activities. This can be in procurement, work activities at site or coordination with other trades. A good construction schedule identifying the resources, time and cost with clear KPIs on quality and WHS will definitely hit target as required.

It starts with pre-construction planning internally with the GC and with their sub-contractor partners. Communication early between the GC and subs allows trades to coordinate and discuss challenges prior to breaking ground. It is critical to have an open line of communication between trades early and often. This develops respect and clarity between sub-contractors while developing a team atmosphere with a common goal to deliver a successful project. Regular coordination meeting between subs/trades on site are a must as the project progresses to discuss conflicts and sequencing. All subs must understand the critical path and any obstacles that can hinder their progress as well as other trades. Communicate! Respect!

The scope document shall give objective requirements which can be clearly measured unambiguously. This will reduce the communication gaps and disputes. Create delivery milestones so that the measurements can be objective and easy. Have periodical meetings for proper coordination. Resolve issues timely and don't keep it pending. Make closures of issues

While planning ahead is the best preventative. Things arise that may not have been planned for. Quick and concise communication in the field will help mitigate things the quickest.

Engineering specs are often generated based on previous documents, and it is common to think that over-spec is better. In some cases, these “overspecifications” bring complications in materials, procurement, and additional costs as a direct consequence. Technical specs must be well understood in their purpose, so, the message contained in them is correctly and concisely conveyed to the quality control and construction teams. The result of a depured spec is more accurate quality control which will lead to optimized constructions, controlling what is important and easing the interaction of several trades. General message: Shorter, more precise, and less subjective documents, and instructions will lead to better products

On any construction site, changes are unavoidable, regardless of the reason—design revisions, customer requirements, site conditions, or outside influences. Changes, however, can have a big effect on the scope, schedule, budget, and quality of the work, which can lead to poor site quality and cost control. As a result, you must handle changes cautiously and aggressively. A change management procedure that outlines the steps for documenting, assessing, approving, and putting changes into action is required. Additionally, you must inform any impacted trades of the changes and modify the plan as necessary.

A good change management process makes big difference. Process of having the project risks meeting, where all risks for during and after the installation are analyzed and discussed, helps eliminate nuances that can come in a more advanced phase of the construction or even of the operation.

Gest?o das altera??es em um canteiro de obras, significa a diferen?a entre o sucesso e o fracasso. Altera??es n?o gerenciadas ou mal gerenciadas podem afetar todos os seus resultados de prazo e custo, jogando por terra todo um esfor?o realizado para o projeto. O Gerenciamento das altera??es precisa e deve ser tratado com todo o cuidado, porque normalmente envolve alterar escopo, prazo e custo de forma conjunta ou n?o. O Gestor do projeto precisa manter todos os registros claros e ter sempre a anuência do Contratante para seguir com as altera??es, sejam elas por que motivo forem. N?o se pode deixar de considerar seus riscos e suas oportunidades que se refletem no projeto.

é crucial reconhecer que as altera??es s?o inevitáveis em qualquer projeto de constru??o civil. No entanto, é essencial compreender que essas mudan?as podem ter um impacto significativo na qualidade do trabalho e no controle de custos. Elas podem surgir devido a modifica??es no projeto, solicita??es dos clientes, condi??es do local ou fatores externos. Diante disso, é fundamental adotar uma abordagem cuidadosa e proativa no gerenciamento de altera??es. Isso envolve a implementa??o de um processo claro para documentar, avaliar, aprovar e implementar as mudan?as. Além disso, é essencial comunicar essas altera??es a todas as partes envolvidas e ajustar o plano de acordo com as novas circunstancias.

As a project stakeholder, I view quality control as the guardian of project integrity, safeguarding against deviations from specifications and standards. My involvement ensures a meticulous quality control system, guiding inspections, tests, and verifications to uphold excellence in every aspect of the work. Collaboration with contractors and the project manager is paramount, ensuring seamless coordination to swiftly address any quality concerns and maintain the project's reputation for excellence.

Quality control can mean different things to different project stakeholders. Ultimately the end client cares about the performance of the project after take over. In that sense, it is important to align the performance criteria with standard quality assurance practices, so the focus remains on the key elements of the project.

Before Quality control, one major thing to first consider is Quality Assurance and this involves getting the right staff with the right tools as well as the needed awareness, knowledge, skills and ethics to carry out the specified task and deliver successfully.

Para ter um bom controle de qualidade é necessário procedimentos bem definidos. O que é qualidade para a empresa? Quais s?o os processos ou características que precisam de acompanhamento da qualidade para acontecerem da maneira correta? Qual a frequência que o controle será executado? Essas s?o perguntas que direcionam o planejamento e a defini??o dos processos adequados.

Control Quality:- - Set high standards - Establish clear criteria - Monitor progress - Identify defects - Take corrective action - Continuously improve - Test and verify - Validate results - Maintain consistency - Strive for excellence

To guarantee that the project is finished within the allocated budget and that the resources are used properly, cost control is essential. A cost control system is required, one that keeps track of and contrasts estimated and actual costs for work performed by various trades. Additionally, you must have a cost reporting procedure that offers precise and timely data on the project's cost performance and deviations. In order to keep expenses under control and take necessary corrective action, you must collaborate with the project manager and the trade contractors.

Controlling costs varies in construction projects from the clients' or contractors' point of view. In order to control costs, the scope of works must be very clear and the design issued for construction must be agreed and priced in the same way by all parties. Cost control is also about change management and changes happen usually when unexpected issues arise on site. That is why a risk mitigation tool during design can "forecast" possible extra costs and give clarity to the client.

Develop a comprehensive cost management plan. Monitor expenses regularly, track against budget, and identify cost-saving opportunities. Encourage trades to provide accurate estimates and work within predefined budgets. Efficient cost control ensures that the project remains financially viable without compromising on quality.

- Develop a detailed budget considering material, labor, and equipment costs. - Monitor expenses closely against the planned budget throughout the project. - Track material and labor costs closely, seeking ways to optimize resources. - Implement change control mechanisms to manage scope changes affecting costs. - Communicate clearly with stakeholders to identify potential cost-related issues and find prompt solutions. - Regularly document and analyze financial data to assess project performance and make adjustments as needed.

Did we explore the need of investigation, analysis and rectifying the construction needs. If not, the whole set is wasted....

It's crucial to address the inner (human) dimensions of project execution and workforce development, including all stakeholders, employees, vendors and sub-contractors throughout the project lifecycle. While industry and trade-specific skills, competencies and certifications are important and valuable to the transformation of the built environment, until now, there has been a lack of focus on the invisible, “soft skills” and mindsets that enable (or sabotage) us as individual leaders and our ability to work collaboratively and effectively. Help everyone get excited about the project purpose. Create a sense of mutual care, trust, and personal responsibility - and find ways to embrace conflict and challenges as a way of learning.

Tanto o planejamento quanto o controle de custo, devem nascer de um or?amento detalhado, que inclusive considere todos os custos indiretos e recorrentes. Também deve considerar o histórico da empresa, no que diz respeito à custos extras com retrabalho, os famosos custos marginais que nunca s?o considerados no or?amento inicial.

The efficient and proper preparation and to identify the long lead items in the procurement plan as well as site requirement. The selection of the right staff with high skills and knowledge.
